How to play
Build all eight thirteen-card suited foundations, four upward from Ace and four downward from King, using both decks.
- Eight reserve cells receive one card each, six tableau piles receive four cards each, and seventy-two cards remain in stock; four Ace-up and four King-down foundations begin empty.
- Move exposed tableau or reserve cards to matching suited foundations, or move a tableau top into an empty reserve. A stock action deals up to four cards onto each tableau pile, and an emptied tableau pile refills with up to four stock cards. Two redeals collect the remaining tableau cards and redeal them in the same large-row structure.
- Build all eight thirteen-card suited foundations, four upward from Ace and four downward from King, using both decks.
Strategy tips
- Keep reserve vacancies available for blockers that expose immediate foundation cards, and clear tableau piles shortly before a row so their automatic four-card refill creates useful access.
- Tournament uses a twenty-four-card tableau row rather than a one-card waste draw, and reserve cards cannot be rearranged into occupied reserve cells.
- Before the final redeal, reduce several tableau piles to foundation-ready tops so the collected order produces clear upward and downward suit routes.
